It does have a 2nd level spell, front loaded, and you can hold your breath forever, but that will be very situtational at best.  Aasimar is like Tieflings, but you get radiant/necrotic resistance, spells like Tiefling, but friendlier, and Celestial which the common folks will be very impressed by. Spells are useful, but require you to level up. Water Genasi- Like Fire Genasi, but more specialized for aquatic, shape water requires more creativity to be useful then produce flame, acid is a more rare damage type, and but water breathing can have its uses. Earth Genasi- like Air Genasi, but more grounded hahaha, might be good ranger or rogue with pass without a trace and the hole ignoring difficult terrian, but too situational, its only earth caused difficult terrian. pass with out a trace will be rarely if ever used by none scouts and its stats don't support a scout build much. I honestly see leviate as more useful.  As for deep Gnome, your going to want the feat, that's the real meat of the race.  the birdmen, well Adventurer's legue has already banned it, so enough said. Goliaths, Good Fighters, Barbarians, Paladins, and Strength rangers and you get to be the parties pack mule! Of these the mostly the only ones I'd likely use are the deep gnome, the Goliath, the Fire Genasi, and for the right campaign Water Genasi, and with the right build Air Genasi (ranged only likely). §</blockquote>
